Weather Crop Bulletin.

WASHINGTON, July 3.-The following
is the weekly weather and crop bulletin
issued by the Signal Office for the week
ending July :, 1887: Temperature during
the week ending July ,: The weather
has been slIgntly warmer than usual in
the Northern States, the average daily ex-
cess being generally less than two degrees,
while throughout the Southern States it
is cooler than usual; averaged daily tenn
perature ranging from three to
seven degrees below the normal.
Throughout the cotton belt during
the week the daily average
has been about five degrees cooler than
usual. The average daily temperature for
this season from January |, differs less
than one degree from the normal i'll all
agricultural districts, except in the South
ern States, where the thermal excess pre-
yiously reported in the cotton region has
been slightly reduced, and the deficiency
on the south Atlantic coast slightly aug
mented.
Rain fall during the week-The rain fall
has been slightly in excess in the greater
portion of the cotton region. The largest
excesses for the week, ranging from three
to ten inches, is reported from
southern Georgia. and thence westward
to Texas, and almost daily rains have Oc-
CURED in The Mississippi Valley from the
Gulf States northward to Wisconsin and
Minnesota, thus ending the drought prryi-
Ously existing in portions of the Upper
Mississippi Valley. Heavy rains are re-
ported this morning from the States of the
Mississippi Valley, and are indicated for
the cotton region and corn, tobacco and
wheat regions west of the Alleghenies,
From the Michigan and Ohio Valley east
ward to the Atlantic there was less rain
than usual icT the week, the deficiency
amounting to about one inch. This large
deficiency in the rainfall for the season i'll
the cotton region is largely the result of a
deficiency of rainfall during the winter and
early spring months.
Considered with reference to the months
of Nav and June the rainfall in the greater
portion of the cotton region has amounted
to from 20 to 80 per cent of the average
for the period. During the same months
less than 80 per cent OF the average amount
of rainfall has occurred in the Lower Ohio
Valley, Indiana, Illinois, Southern Wis
consin, Iowa and Southeast Minnesota.
Rains, which have occurred during the
past week and which continue to-day are
timely, and will probably improve the
condition of the staple crops.
General remarks-The reports from the
cotton region indicate the weather during
the past week, owing to the abundant and
we'll distributed showers, has beeen favor
able to cotton, although its growth may
haze been slightly retarded by cool
weather.
The weather has been favorable for har-
vesting wheat and hay from the Lake re-
gion and Ohio Valley eastward 10 the At
lantic, while in the Missouri and Missis-
sippi Valleys, showers have delayed har-
resting in those sections. The weather
has been especially favorable in the corn
region. Excellent growing weather is re-
ported from New England and the Middle
Atlantic States, where large hay crop has
been secured.

business on Wall Street-RusselS Sage Talks
Of the stock Market.
NEW YORK, July 3.-Saturday Wall
street and the streets about the big down
town exchanges were almost as deserted as
on Sundays. The Sub-Treasury, banks,
Clearing House and Custom House were
the only buildings that gave evidence
of life. The Wall street men who
had business at their offices
were ]. Pierrepont Morgen, Russell Sage,
S. Y. White, Alfred Sully, Henry s. Ives
and his side partners, Geo. II. Stayner and
Thos. G. Doremus. 1t was the impression
that the general principles of settlement
between the Western Union and Baltimore
and Ohio Telegraph Companies, whereby
the Baltimore and Ohio is to be con-
trolled by the Western Union, had
been agreed upon. Mr.. Stayner called
upon Mr.. Sage, the only Director Of
the Western Union in town, but Mr.. Sage
did not care to say whether the deal was
within few days, weeks or months of
completion. Mr.. Sage added: There are
utttliS W bC CHAPS
they will he arranged by Tuesday, and
perhaps not for some time. ] have all along
insisted that Mr.. Ives and Mr.. Stayner
asked too much for the Ba' a'timore and Ohio
property, and we are busy ascertaining just
what the value of the Baltimore aud Ohio
Telegraph Company would he to the
Western Union. What do | think of
the situation of the stock market
after the recent decline? Well,
think prices will generally improve. |
don't look for any boom during July, but
think things are on clearer basis. The
Sully-I -Ives-Stayner-Doremus combine had
long conference in Mr.. Ives Office The
talk was about the Western Union Balti-
more aud Ohio telegraph deal, but Mr..
Ives said that nothing definite had been
reached. Mr.. Ives sailed in his yacht
at four O'Clock for Cape God. 1t
was the opinion that be would meet Mr..
Gould before he returned, and that this
week would develop something positive
about the deGl 1t was declared to-day
that Western Union won't pay more than
81, 600, 600, if that, for the Baltimore and
Ohio Telegraph Company. The great
question on the street is who Will succeed
Robert Garrett as President of the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad Company. It was
said that Alfred Sully is fishing for the
place.
